But flattery aside, though you do get more 'experts in a field' in tertiary education, you don't get many who are expert teachers.
Teachers at a secondary and primary level are I think typically better teachers than academics, because teachers spend considerably more time and effort thinking about pedagogy. Many academics see teaching as a bothersome distraction that they have to do so they can get on with the good stuff namely researching.
Its not an opinon I share but it is rife in academia.
Anyway this has all lead to something else to add to Pauls list, namely that a good property educator would either have formal training in pedagogy or considerable teaching experience.
